KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) — A report on non-standard forms of employment (NSE) that provides a comprehensive look at employment including temporary work, part-time work, temporary agency work and subcontracting and disguised employment relationships will be presented at a meeting of Caribbean ministers of labour to be held in Jamaica later this month.

The 10th International Labour Organization (ILO) meeting of Caribbean Ministers of Labour from February 23 – 24 will also provide an opportunity for the labour ministers, permanent secretaries and other high-level officials of the English and Dutch-speaking Caribbean to discuss labour issues that are of mutual concern to the region.

The two-day meeting will be held under the theme “Realising Decent Work Under the 2030 Agenda” and will focus on two main areas, namely “Elevating Decent Work to the National and Regional Policy level through social partnership and Instruments and Practical Tools for Decent Work”.

The organisers said that the delegates will be presented with the NSE report on the opening day of their deliberations.

“It is the first comprehensive report on NSE including temporary work, part-time work, temporary agency work and subcontracting, dependent self-employment and disguised employment relationships.”

Minister of Labour and Social Security Shahine Robinson, and ILO Director General Guy Ryder will address the conference.
